Why would you keep Julio at his current cost vs Thomas, Gurley, Powell, etc at a major discount?

There's a solid chance you get Julio in the first round anyway, or another player of his caliber. Keep the guys you know are too cheap.

Well that depends on his draft position but with 20-24good to great players off the board before the draft even starts, getting an elite player even at the top of the draft can be extremely difficult

In a normal draft, yes Julio is likely there in the mid to late first, but with these keeper rules, I would guess the Uber elite dudes like Odell, Bell, Johnson, etc are already being kept so if you let Julio go into the draft pool he's probably going as the top pick, and all it takes is one guy ahead of you that didn't keep a first round pick and you are out of Julio and out of a huge draft talent

Losing Julio may happen, and that's okay.

You are picking up so much equity by keeping Gurley in the 5th as a 2nd/3rd rounder and Thomas in the 11th as a 2nd rounder that you can take a slight downgrade from Julio with your first rounder.
